“Logistics is about connecting the world,” Matthias Hanke from Roland Berger AG quite accurately stated during a very successful guest lecture on considerations from the perspective of Logistics service providers (LSPs) and carriers here at TU Darmstadt last Tuesday.

This statement is central to our series of guest lectures: We connect the theoretical aspects of our lectures with the practice of logistics businesses and the industry. Therefore, we extend a big thank you to Mr. Hanke for visiting our campus and our students as part of our lecture “Strategic Logistics Management” which deals with strategic logistics management and with the function, conception and trends of logistics and presents them in models of logistics management.

Alongside our students, we were excited to learn more about the challenges and opportunities for operators and LSPs from a different point of view, and to get insight not only into the impact of digitalization in the logistics industry but also into the status of freight platforms.

We are looking forward to the next time!
